By the way, IMHO this is one of the few exceptions where woodgrain looks GOOD and IN PLACE on a cab !

agreed (again )! and you should see that golden fiberglass bezel shining in real life when properly illuminated - it just looks awesome. what i like about that pong clone is that the cabinet is so different  from other cabinets - both in design and size, to me it's almost a piece of art. i didn't like it that much at the beginning, but it's grown close to my heart . oh, and by the way, rally will be 40 (in words: FORTY) years old in a few months. imagine that!

Awesome, exactly we are probably a bit "conditioned" by the "standard" uprights we all know and love, and then is just something so different ! Yes the fiberglass is the "finishing touch" on it, that really sets it apart

Would be awesome to celebrate it's 40 birthday in september

It is not a Pong Clone, it is Rallye!
Looking awesome, congrats!

I love these before after pictures  love the machine too. I think it is a great sample of a "early" game. A true collecters item. Well done.

Hi Ully,

nice to see it all put together - a showpiece.
My only wish would be to add 2 or 3 pictures from the interior

Best Regards,
Andreas

unfortunately, i forgot to take any pictures when the tv was still out and removing the bezel and getting the television out now it simply too much work. the only picture i have of the interior right now is this one



note that i've installed an on / off switch (cut off in the back on the left) at the bottom of the cab which was not there originally, but i wanted to be able to turn the game on and off without having to pull / put in the plug every single time!

Congrats !!!

and here's what the cabinet looks now: nice, clean AND fully working!!!

Great work. I'm glad you finished it, but I noticed, I can't see the paddles in any of the pictures, was the game in 'attract' mode?

This needs a cool video of it being played.....

Amazing job by Speleo on the PCB,  since it has no processor these are tough babies to fix for sure !

I also love the sight of the cabinet against the reddish background, it makes the cabinet stand out even better

I completely forgot this topic....

Great work!!

I've to find a way to remake my RALLY Control Panel in the same way but I was thinking about a transparent printed overlay over the metal plate
